# Rate limits

> How fast you can call search and fetch — the per-second and hourly limits for authenticated and unauthenticated requests, and how they differ from the credit allowance.

Keenable applies rate limits across search and fetch endpoints in accordance with the authentication
status of the request. To learn more about authentication, see [authentication](/authentication).

| Authentication status | Rate limit                                                   |
| --------------------- | ------------------------------------------------------------ |
| Authenticated         | 10 requests per second (per organization)                    |
| Unauthenticated       | 1,000 requests per hour, max 10 requests per second (per IP) |

A few things worth keeping in mind:

* Rate limits on authenticated requests are applied on the organization-level.
* Authentication removes the hourly request cap; the per-second limit still applies.
* Higher per-second limits are available on some plans.
* The unauthenticated pool is shared per IP address, so its available headroom depends on other traffic from the same address.

Rate limits cap how *fast* you can call the API. How *much* you can call it is a separate limit: authenticated usage draws on a free allowance of 100,000 requests a month — see [credits](/credits).
